Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideSeptember 4, 2013The first quality coffee shop in the area, Cafe Grumpy brings their quality coffee roasting, consistent coffee preparation & stellar baked goods to the Garment District. Seating but no wifi.
Serious EatsSeptember 24, 2013Fifth outpost of this Greenpoint roaster offers lots of seating and homemade pastries, but no computers are allowed.
Love their mochas and flat white. Just like their other shops, no laptops allowed. Tables are all communal at this location if that matters to you.
No laptops allowed and no outlet plugs, but feel free to snag a spot near the window and hang out with your book/kindle/phone. Super nice baristas!
Květinka LéňaFebruary 10, 2017Our new fav place in the City. Perfect flat white! The barista was really friendly and funny :) wonderful music playing in the background was just the icing on the cake. Go there!
Central place to meet. Tables seat 20, plus bench by the window. Coffee and pastries are excellent. Queuing is awkward but is also a testament to how busy it got so quickly.
Good coffee, although I might prefer Culture in the area. They have loyalty cards, and the regulars in the morning make for a long but fast moving line.
Mark NowellDecember 30, 2013It's my first time here and I love it! Get the mocha espresso! Nice crew too specially the barista. :))
The best coffee option in this neighborhood. They have yummy pastries too. Not a lot of seating, but you can hang out for a bit.
VJune 6, 2015Their flat white is amazing! Service is really nice and they draw on the coffee. It's free laptop coffee shop.
Shaquana ChaneyfieldJanuary 17, 2017Mornings get hectic, as the shop is pretty small, but they move quickly! The iced coffee is divine! Highly recommended.
Nikki BogopolskayaFebruary 4, 2016An oasis in the hellish South Times Square neighborhood - fantastic coffee, pastries + wine, too bad it's always jam-packed.- E PNovember 21, 2013Don't forget to order a pastry with your drink. All pastries are one of a kind including the truffles. They instantly melt in your mouth.
Excellent coffee, great place to hang out for a while (laptops not permitted). The baked goods are nice.
Iced mocha is really good. But watch out for grumpy baristas. They also dont allow you to use laptops even when theres no one at the cafe.
If you come early ~8am, there's a pastry tasting. Just enough bite to sweeten your espresso.
Cyc Fitness™October 13, 2016#Claufee Pro Tip: I never deviate from my cold brews and regular hot coffee – both pair well with any sweet. I don’t like to drink my calories, but I love to eat them. #CycLife

Bryan LlorenteMay 23, 2017Great coffee. It's a laptop free coffeeshop but is perfect to relax if you're in midtown Manhattan- Nate BeattyFebruary 7, 2015Sometimes you just need a pour-over with attitude and overpriced perfection. It's all about the experience. Also, don't bring a laptop and check in discretely.
Ben DruckerSeptember 9, 2014Probably my favorite spot in NYC. No laptops, quality espresso, and plenty of seating (including outdoor).
Ossy AlawwamOctober 13, 2014Have the Las Flores, Honduras. Really amazing with nuances of berries & cherry.
Joey GrohFebruary 27, 2015The cold brew coffee is just absolutely fantastic. The pour overs are also amazing!
Jessie RDecember 28, 2014Super trendy coffee shop, strange layout but cozy for sure. Flat white was killer (my first one)
Kevin YienJune 26, 2015Great coffee and espresso drinks. And even better for meetings. Not good for getting work done (no wifi)
kathrine mitchellNovember 8, 2014The espresso and coffee is perfect, smooth and rich. The scones and croissants are delectable.
John AMarch 7, 2015Love the intensity of the pour over coffee. Salted chocolate chip cookies are good.
Jasmine HsuOctober 8, 2014the other spot in chelsea is a bit more homey but this spot has a cool collaborative study space.
Josef SzottenMarch 7, 2015Good coffee and a very cozy outside area at the back. Perfect in the summer
Leigh Anne ZinsmeisterMarch 1, 2015This is the least midtowny place in midtown and I mean that as the highest praise.
The coffee is really good. Great decaf if that’s your cup of tea...
Immediately after taking a sip of your cappuccino, take a bite of your blackberry financier pastry. Then quickly take another sip. You're welcome.
Their ristretto espressos are rich and distinct in flavor. Far superior to anything you'll get at Starbucks.
Justine Santa CruzJanuary 11, 2014Perfect coffee spot with room to sit, graze and have a good coffee!
Irina LeonidovnaSeptember 27, 2017Nice vibe and good coffee. Just too bitter for my taste, I prefer the more acidic ones
ChettaJune 13, 2014A hideaway from tourists. Come here locals! find safety and peace in good coffee and company
Vivian LiMarch 29, 2014Great place with quality coffee (and tea) to meet with friends from out of town who insist on staying in the Times Sq area.
The cardamom bread with a tea or coffee. Perfect snack.
Rory MillerSeptember 21, 2013The cappuccino is delicious and they have a ton of different pour over options.
Matthew MortonSeptember 19, 2014Can't go wrong w/ a flat white but their drip specials are special..
Micah SpielerDecember 10, 2015Good coffee and cool scene. Then there's the "no laptops allowed" thing...
